Microstructural Characterization Of Polymer Plate Washer Produce By A Novel Technique

The overall objective from this project is to study the microstructure of the plate polymer washer produced by a new technique. The melt-shearing influenced the size of the spherulites and the formation of shish kebab structure.
From scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it revealed that for almost all polymers spherulites are composed of lamellar structure. The temperature will effect on the size and orientation of the polymer chains thus increases the toughness of the polymer.
